ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ Qᴜɪʀᴋꜱ: ᴀʀᴇ Yᴏᴜ ᴀ ʀᴇʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ? I havent been posting much because Im in the throes of book deadline hell, but I thought Id start doing a few micro-posts about our quirks as readers. I know everyone has their different style and preferences, and that always fascinates me. So Id love to hear how you approach these different topics. First up, rereading. I absolutely love when people tell me theyve read my series multiple times. Or that theyre going to go back to reread all the books in preparation for the next one. That is so flattering and always puts a smile on my face. But I also have trouble relating because I am SO not a rereader. I honestly cant think of any book that Ive read more than once. Ive gone back and read passages from some favorite books--usually to remind myself about something or to study something about the writing. But even my favorite favorites dont get reread. And Im not sure why. Im sure I would enjoy rereading them. I can think of ones Id like to reread. And Im definitely one to rewatch favorite movies/TV shows (over and over and over). But I think what might stop me from rereading books is that I always have a towering TBR pile. Its hard to justify rereading something Ive already read instead of tackling ALL THE NEW SHINY STORIES. On my Push Your Boundaries Reading Challenge that Im doing this year, I did include a reread from childhood on the list, so I guess I will tackle a reread soon. Havent decided which one yet though. So, you tell me, are you a rereader? If so, what makes you read a book again? Whats your record for how many times youve read a particular book? If youre not a rereader, why do you think that is? Im really interested in what you have to say, so dont be shy, comment! : ) *This is simultaneously posted on my blog if youd prefer to comment there.
